Abstract Microstructure evolution in Mg4Zn1Nd and Mg1Zn1Nd alloys was investigated after
warm rolling and isothermal annealing. Transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed …

The effect of Zr addition on microstructures and their evolution during heat treatments of a
Mg-Nd-Zn alloy was studied using various electron microscopy techniques. The addition of …

Abstract Although Zn–Zr intermetallic phases have been frequently reported in solution-
treated Mg–RE–Zn–Zr systems (RE presents rare earth), the types, crystal structures and …

The minor alloying element Zr in a Mg–6.2 Zn–0.6 Zr (ZK60) alloy causes the formation of
fine Mg (Zn, Zr) precipitates at 350° C which play a critical role in dynamic recrystallization …

We examined the microstructure and texture evolution during the recrystallization annealing
of cold rolled Mg-1Y and Mg-0.2 Zn-1Y alloys. At the early annealing stage, new grains are …

Abstract Mg–5Zn–2Gd–0.4 Zr alloy (wt.%) shows a significant age hardening response with
a hardness increment from 62 HV to 72 HV by ageing at 200° C for up to 80 h. Transmission …

Microstructure evolution, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior and mechanical
properties of Mg–6Zn–1Mn-xGd alloys (x= 0, 0.2, 1.0 and 3.0 wt%) were investigated. The …

The influence of minor boron on the microstructure and mechanical properties of solution-
treated and as-extruded Mg 94 Y 2.5 Zn 2.5 Mn 1 alloys has been investigated in this paper …

The structure and thermal stability of primary intermetallic particles formed in an Mg–8wt.%
Zn casting alloy have been characterized using transmission electron microscopy. Most …

The effects of Nd addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties at elevated
temperatures of a Mg–0.3 Zn–0.32 Zr alloy were investigated in this study. The grain sizes of …
